My field of expertise is management of wireless networks and the optimisation of radio resources. I am currently focusing on optimising radio resources to achieve security in the physical layer and improve the cyber security of wireless networks. My work in this area is based on the design of novel wireless networks management framework using programmability and abstraction of radio resources.
